Bug#686000: RFH: zalign
Package: wnpp
Severity: normal
Hello,
I have prepared a package for zalign
Description: parallel local alignment of biological sequences
zAlign is a local sequence aligner, especially intended for use with
large biological DNA sequences, with more than 1Mbp (Millions of base
pairs). It uses the Smith-Waterman exact algorithm with affine gap cost
function to perform this task.
.
zAlign can be used both in distributed (clusters, for
example) or standalone environments. Currently it has
been tested on Linux and Sun Solaris, using both the MPICH
(http://www.mcs.anl.gov/research/projects/mpi/mpich1/) and OpenMPI
(http://www.open-mpi.org/) implementations. Ports for other Unix-like
environments are highly considered.
in some still rudimentary way, just for local needs. If anybody felt
like improving packaging so it can be uploaded to the distribution,
this would be excellent. I am around for mentoring. Build instructions
are placed with Debian Med at
http://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/debian-med/trunk/packages/zalign/trunk/debian/
Many thanks and kind regards,
Steffen
